Called the most widely read English novel of the twentieth century, D.H. Lawrence's largely auto-biographical "Sons and Lovers tells the story of Paul Morel, a young artist growing into manhood in a British working-class community near the Nottingham coalfields. His mother Gertrude, unhappily married to Paul's hard-drinking father, devotes all her energies to her son. They develop a powerful and passionate relationship, but eventually tensions arise when Paul falls in love with a girl and seeks to escape his family. Heralding Lawrence's mature period, "Sons and Lovers vividly evokes the all-consuming nature of possessive love and sexual attraction. Lushly descriptive and deeply emotional, it is rich in universal truths about human relationships.

One of the landmark novels of the twentieth century.

With a new Introduction by Geoff DyerCommentary by Anthony Burgess, Jessie Chambers, Frieda Lawrence, V.S. Pritchett, Kate Millett, and Alfred Kazin'Of all Lawrence's work, SONS AND LOVERS tells us most about the emotional source of his ideas," observed Diana Trilling.'The famous Lawrence theme of the struggle for sexual power - and he is sure that all the struggles of civilized life have their root in this primary contest - is the constantly elaborated statement of the fierce battle which tore Lawrence's family."SONS AND LOVERS is one of the landmark novels of the twentieth century. When it appeared in 1913, it was immediately recognized as the first great modern restatement of the oedipal drama, and it is now widely considered the major work of D. H. Lawrence's early period. This intensely autobiographical novel recounts the story of Paul Morel, a young artist growing to manhood in a British working-class family rife with conflict. The author's vivid evocation of the all-consuming nature of possessive love and sexual attraction makes this one of his most powerful novels.For the critic Kate Millett, "SONS AND LOVERS is a great novel because it has the ring of something written from deeply felt experience. The past remembered, it conveys more of Lawrence's own knowledge of life than anything else he wrote. His other novels appear somehow artificial beside it."

Young artist Paul Monel's childhood and early manhood in the English midlands are deeply influenced by his devotion to and concern for his domineering mother. Reissue.
